Moses Maimonides (Rambam)

Moses Maimonides, also known as Rambam, was a 12th-century Jewish philosopher, theologian, and physician. He is best known for his works on Jewish law and ethics, particularly "Mishneh Torah," which systematically codifies Jewish legal principles. Maimonides sought to reconcile faith with reason, emphasizing the importance of intellectual inquiry in understanding God and religion. Additionally, he wrote "Guide for the Perplexed," addressing the relationship between philosophy and religion. His influence extended beyond Judaism, impacting Christian and Islamic thought as well, establishing him as a key figure in medieval philosophy.
